Yesterday I watched the world cup yesterday. A pretty good match except for some insanity at the end. I mean I don’t know a whole lot about soccer, but I do know that I would be super pissed if I were Zidane’s teammates. To play a man down going into PK’s *without* your great PK’er [...]
Vick signed with the Dolphins as a “wide receiver-quarterback-specialist” Awesome. That will teach the kids to accept responsibility for their actions. Technorati Tags: sports, Virginia Tech

Any thoughts? Google video has kindly created a nice page of all the commercials for your viewing pleasure. Overall I thought it was a weak set of spots.

Seriously people. With Virginia Tech coming to town, fire officials have ordered the removal of all upholstered furniture and flammable objects from porches in neighborhoods with high student populations to put a damper fires that have become a post-game tradition.
From his campaign diary: Fall is ahead. You know it. And that means one thing: another season of UVa football! It was great to be in Charlottesville, because it reminded me of game days coming up. The team is practicing already, and kickoff is only 15 days and 22 hours away! I can thank thesabre.com [...]

God I hope so. The article. Here are some pictures of the expansion, it sure looks awesome though.
I totally don’t know if Shot Tracker® is a registered trademark of Wimbledon or not, I just like using the Little Symbol®. Anyway Wimbledon.org has a pretty cool flash app you can use to track the Latest Exciting Tennis Action®. Click on “Launch the IBM On Demand Scoreboard” over on the right. If the match [...]
To continue yesterday’s discussion about the stadium, richmond.com has a story recapping the meeting Wilder had with the “financial backers” yesterday. Nothing much new…a good quote though: Asked about his sentiments regarding the project, Wilder replied, “You can’t just turn your back on a $330 million project if it’s sellable.” So, is this project sellable?

This article from the RTD has the deets. “…[Wilder]‘s more satisfied now than he had been…” w00t! Progress! There are still a bunch of hang-ups though, drainage and parking being two big ones.
